In 2024, humans engaged robots in strange activities, including cleaning up litter, wearing lab-grown skin, and even performing tasks like surgery on food. Innovations like the "Poopcopter," a flying poop-collecting robot, and VERO, a vacuum for cigarette butts, emerged. Experiments revealed that robots could evoke empathy when they appeared to suffer. Artists also created AI-generated art, showcasing the growing complexity and bizarre uses of modern robotics.
